Hi and Welcome to AutoDesk Forum,

 

>> But unfortunately I can't so plz help me. << 

could you tell us what procedure that you have done for this issue?

 

>> So I wanna to paste any isometric 3D view in 2D Drawings << 

usually copyclip(Ctrl+c ) and Paste (Ctrl+v) will do what you ask for.if you have big 3D model it's more safe to take your 2D drawing to the 3D by attache it as xref.

 

 

Regards,

Here's one approach.

 

Let' say you have two AutoCAD drawings.  One contains the 2D views and the other a 3D model.

 

In the 3D model go to a viewing angle that shows the solid model in the isometric orientation you want.

 

Set the visualstyles to 2D Wireframe

 

Set DISPSILH to 1

 

Give the HIDE command and select the geometry.

 

 

Use CTRL-C to copy the lines to the Windows clipboard.

 

Go to the 2D drawing and give the PASTESPEC (Paste Special) command.   This will paste an image of the selected geometry into the other drawing.  SInce it is an image and not AutoCAD entities the image quality will be limited.

 

---

 

If you want to paste the image as AutoCAD entities I have found you can use paste-special to paste the geometry into Word using the Picture (Windows Metafile) format. You can then ungroup the vectors, edit, group and paste-special back into AutoCAD as lines.  Let me know if you want more detail on this process.

Here's a slightly better process that yields AutoCAD lines rather than a raster image.

 

Follow the steps I outlined before up to HIDE but then give the FLATTEN command and respond Yes to "Remove Hidden Lines"..

 

Select the resulting drawing and hit Ctrl-C.

 

Go to your 2D drawing and pastespec as AutoCAD entities.  You may need to rotate the resulting graphic.

I would also suggest FLATSHOT as the command you will want for this purpose.

Always save a copy of the drawing before trying anything suggested here.

To paste Isometric objects in 2d drawing, just export it as a pdf file and import it back to the 2d drawing. Make sure to adjust your view when exporting , because the size of the object depends on how far you viewed it.
